[P:A]

The Twelve are now awake. While I know you’re all concerned about them, please do not rush down here. The medical team is still assessing things, both with them and the other patients.

( Cut for blanket family/friend filters of the Twelve )

[P:A Medical]

I think we should ask for bonuses.

[Shelby & Jonny]

I’m never leaving this place. It was nice knowing you. Send my regards to Broadway or something.

Mercury is in retrograde starting on the 12th for those interested.

[KARO & GORDON]

I'll be officially joining you on the 14th.

[OLLY]

[...] So at the risk of being incredibly awkward, how are you feeling?

[Shortly after this last night.]

[PROJECT: ASCENSION]

One of your agents is unconscious here at Throwback and is possibly in need of medical attention. While his breathing is within normal limits, he's slightly tachycardic and unresponsive to any attempts to rouse him.

Never has a Facebook post spoken so deeply to my soul.


[SHELBY & JONNY]

So who wants to come over and christen this fancy-dancy kitchen?

[GORDON]

[...] So what does a boy have to do to get a tour of the medical facilities?

I
I know they are just things, but
LOL the most expensive thing I lost was that diploma.

[SHELBY & JONNY]

[JONNY]

I have something to tell you and you need to not be judgmental like Shleby, which is why she is not here.

( Not an IC cut )

[GORDON]

Didn't know you were the partying type.

[JONNY & SHLEBY]

Which one of you is off tomorrow?

I think I'm going to keep the pink hair. It screams summer. Or something.

[SHELBY]

Just so we're clear, please don't repeat anything I said to you while I was drunk and on Unicorn Dust.

[...] So how big is the medical department at the Island anyway?

That awkward atavist moment when you call your Mom to wish her a Happy Mother's Day and she goes on a mini tirade/interrogation about why you won't move back to your hometown.

Tag yourself I'm Helen.

[LUKA]

So I may have broken something small at your store. I'll pay for it. I would have paid for it then but some baseline kid was at the register and I didn't want to wait around for any questions.

I think I've developed a second power.

For the past two weeks, I am hearing that damn Ed Sheeran song everywhere I go. It doesn't matter if it's morning, noon, afternoon, dusk, or night because it's playing somewhere in the background for me no matter where I am at the moment. It's on the radio in the kitchen, in the Uber, in the coffee shop, in the HomeGoods, in the Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and even at the corner store where the radio is almost always static, but somehow this song manages to get through while I'm there. Even places I wouldn't expect it to be, like as someone's cell phone ringtone at the Whole Foods that they kept refusing to answer and seemed to be five feet behind me no matter where I traveled in the store, the song echoing from inside of a purse as they don't believe in declining calls. I hate that song. It's everywhere and it's haunting me like something out of a modern gothic novel.

Also, I tried the unicorn thing and wasn't very impressed.

I'm having some regrets over eating an entire discounted chocolate rabbit in one sitting.

[JAMIE]

Are you feeling any more normal now?

[Violet, Raj, Caleb]

So. A clinic. At Greenwich. I got the okay to make one. Or, rather, to put together a proposal for how much it's going to cost to put one together - I've got to figure out some of the money part later but that's my problem.

You three are on the list because fuck if I actually know what that's actually going to entail. Between medical know-how and equipment and remodeling blueprints... well, go team go. In terms of scope we're looking at primary-care, urgent-care stuff, just, you know, preventative somethings to keep Atavists healthy without necessarily having to turn their medical records over to the government.

As the MAL keeps expanding the population of atavists, I think this may be the most important groundwork we set for the future.

Talk to me.

Hi Stranger is not what I needed to see at 5AM this morning.

I can't be the only one who thinks The Way of All Flesh sounds like something out of a horror movie, right?

I was kind of looking forward to the Snowmageddon/Snowpocalypse/Snowzilla.

Fun Fact: Quinoa acts much like glitter when spilled on you.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've been banned from the Union Square Whole Foods.

Apparently Katy Perry has chained a disco ball to a park bench in Brooklyn and it plays a preview of her new song?
